The design of each Samsung flagship smartphone series has remained largely similar, with color variations being the primary source of differentiation. Although it may be challenging for the Korean company to introduce significant originality due to the already embellished appearance of the Galaxy S25 family, a recent rumor suggests that Samsung will make slight changes to the dimensions of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. This change is expected to provide a better user experience.
### All Galaxy S26 Models Are Rumored to Be Slimmer Than Their Predecessors
A tipster claims that all models in the Galaxy S26 lineup are set to be slimmer than their direct predecessors, which could help users grip their devices more comfortably. While the ultra-slim profile of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a testament to this approach, it means customers may have to compromise on battery life and camera numbers.
#### Battery Capacity
Fortunately, the upcoming models are not expected to reduce “screen on” time. The Galaxy S26 Edge is rumored to be slimmer than its predecessor but could feature a larger 4,200mAh battery. Meanwhile, the smaller Galaxy S26 Pro might see an upgrade with a 4,300mAh cell.
#### Galaxy S26 Ultra
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain the same 5,000mAh battery size as its predecessors. However, rumors suggest that all three models could boast a slim chassis, making them easier to grip due to reduced thickness. Samsung appears to have found a way to improve user interaction and address complaints about larger batteries.
The rumor also mentions that Samsung is considering including the ‘Plus’ model in the lineup but would call it the ‘Pro.’ This claim contradicts previous reports of plans to phase out the Galaxy S26 Plus in favor of the Edge.
### Conclusion
If a thinner device leads to a better user experience and larger battery capacity, then more power to Samsung. We’ll have to wait and see if these rumors prove true.
